Rue des Moulins

Rue des Moulins features stone buildings with wood accents, mountain-style architecture, and numerous specialty shops displaying equipment and local products.

The street transformed from a traditional Alpine passage into a commercial center during the 1924 Winter Olympics, when Chamonix hosted the first winter games.

Local artisans and merchants maintain shops selling regional crafts, mountain gear, and French Alpine specialties along this central thoroughfare.

The pedestrian zone connects directly to the main bus station and provides access to multiple sports equipment rental locations for mountain activities.

Street musicians perform throughout the year against the backdrop of Mont Blanc, creating an outdoor concert hall with natural mountain acoustics.
